NIGP 59069: Tape, Velcro Type (see 615-89 for Office Type)

NIGP 59069 Tape, Velcro Type (Item) covers adhesive-backed fastening tape that state and local governments procure as part of broader office supplies and furniture purchasing programs. Based on recent solicitations, this Item code captures velcro tape bundled into general office supply catalogs rather than as a standalone procurement, making it typically a line-item commodity within larger vendor award lists serving administrative and instructional operations across school districts and municipal offices.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP 011326869 on March 21, 2026, for a catalog bid covering office supplies and furniture for the 2026–2027 school year with a response deadline of April 8, 2026. The RFP sought discount proposals from vendors off printed catalog prices for general office supplies, electronic equipment and accessories, printer supplies, and office furniture, with intent to award multiple vendors to give district employees flexibility in sourcing items with best value. The contract term runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with options to extend for up to two additional one-year periods if both parties agree. All goods must ship within seven working days of purchase order receipt and carry one-year warranties free from defects. No minimum purchase quantities are guaranteed, and the district imposed no set-aside restrictions; all qualified vendors were eligible to bid. The solicitation required vendors to maintain specified insurance, submit conflict-of-interest questionnaires and debarment certifications, and comply with Texas Education Code felony conviction notification requirements.
